For a CEO to say during an election, "if Obama gets elected, I'm firing some employees" is certainly bombastic. But if you don't think that the net effect of Obamacare will be fewer full-time jobs with benefits (and higher healthcare premiums for those with jobs), you need to take Economics 101 and/or get your information from different sources..

Companies ARE required to pay FUTA and state unemployment tax.
Therefore, they're still paying.
You should look into labor law if you have anyone under you. Quickly.
Haven't heard of any wrongful termination lawsuits because of the election, I'm sure they'll turn up sooner or later. Although, wrongful termination lawsuits are usually kept VERY quiet due to privacy of both parties concerns.
